Chapter 356 Windfall

After struggling to deal with the group of experts from the CERN, Duke declined Dr. Hertz's banquet. This trip was for a trip, and who knew that it would take a whole day to give a report.

Although Shuya and the others would not say anything about it, Duke did not want to turn this trip into a business trip, so he spent seven or eight days happily in Switzerland with his family, basically visiting well-known places and historical sites in Switzerland.

When it was time to return home, Herz unexpectedly came to him again.

"Dr. Duke, that's right. We now have a new reactor system for research. This is a subcritical reactor that connects to the particle accelerator through a subcritical device to form a complete fission reactor system." After the greetings, Hertz went straight to the topic.

"Simply put, this system works by sending a proton beam to the target through a particle accelerator. The generated neutrons can trigger the fission reaction of the reactor, and people can control the particle accelerator to control the entire fission reaction without entering the critical state.

In this way, the fission reaction of the entire reactor depends on the particle accelerator. When the particle accelerator stops emitting proton beams, the reactor will stop immediately. This method is as safe as Dr. Duke's catalyst method.

But there are many problems with this type of reactor at present. The most important thing is that it is not efficient and has too complex structure. Although this reactor can work under experimental conditions, we are very looking forward to Dr. Duke joining this research project and improving this reactor system together."

After Herz finished speaking, he looked at Duke with anticipation, for fear that Duke would refuse to drop it.

He is a senior director of the CERN. This new reactor system is the most important project under his management. After listening to Duke's Lotus Reactor report, the expert who studied the new reactor was keenly discovered that if some of Duke's catalytic technologies could be borrowed, the research on this new reactor system could be a big step forward.

Duke not only explained the feasibility of catalytic nuclear fission in theory, but also irrefutably proved the correctness of this theory through the Lotus Drill.

Therefore, the senior experts in the project strongly suggested to Hertz to invite Dr. Duke to participate in this new reactor research project, with the purpose of using Duke's exclusive technology in catalytic fission to solve many problems in the existing project.

Duke has heard of this kind of fission generation method and principle, but since the research in this field is basically still in a very preliminary state, there are very few relevant public information and paper results reported. Therefore, although Duke knows the general principles, it lacks detailed process equipment and other related technical information.

Duke did not expect that Dr. Hertz would invite him to participate in the research work of this project. You should know that Europe is the most leading research field. On the plus side, Duke will be able to get to the top level of research in this area immediately. With Kerry's super learning ability, he will be able to copy the technology here soon.

But Duke knew that there was no free lunch in this world, and it was impossible for him to get these things without paying a little.

What to do? Thinking of his lotus pile, Duke knew that if he could graft with this technology, he might be able to solve the problems in the first generation lotus pile, so this is an excellent opportunity.

However, if the development of this reactor makes breakthrough progress, Duke will not be able to prevent a new strong competitor from appearing.

This question is really hard to decide.

Although Duke was calm on the surface, he turned countless thoughts in his heart as if he was upside down, and fell into Hertz's eyes. Duke's contemplation was as if he wanted to refuse. Now he was considering the wording, and Hertz couldn't help but feel anxious.

"Dr. Duke, in terms of intellectual property generated by the project research, we have a very transparent sharing mechanism that can ensure that the doctor's contribution can be rewarded well," Dr. Hertz added.

He is right. In terms of intellectual property protection, Europe is the birthplace and has a complete protection mechanism. As the center for more than 500 famous universities in Europe and even the world to study high-energy particles, the European Nuclear Research Center has always handled intellectual property very well.

Duke was moved when he heard this. Although this experimental stack may have achieved breakthrough results in advance because of himself, the conversion speed from the experimental stack to the commercial stack is obviously much different from himself because they lack a super powerful simulation computing computer like Kerry.

Normally, it is already super fast to transform the experimental reactor into a commercial reactor within 5 to 8 years, and you can achieve this conversion at most 2 to 3 years. If the conditions are sufficient and the commercial test reactor process starts immediately after the experimental reactor is completed, then the conversion time will be much faster than that of the competitors.

Being ahead in the past few years is enough to gain a large share in the market.

Moreover, Duke urgently needs to improve the first generation of lotus piles and can start the last key link in the Bileme plan as soon as possible.

"Dr. Hertz, thank you very much for your invitation." Duke said with a smile, "I am very much looking forward to conducting this research with my European counterparts, hoping to find new achievements that will benefit mankind as soon as possible."

Dr. Hertz thought Duke was going to refuse when he heard Duke's first half, but before he could feel relieved, he heard Duke agree and couldn't help but say happily: "Thank you, Dr. Duke, welcome to join the myrrha project. I think with your joining, the probability of success of the myrrha project has been greatly enhanced."

The next question is some details. After Duke and Hertz agreed to the general intention, there will naturally be someone who will assist Duke in handling the procedures.

Duke didn't expect that he could not escape the pursuit of work after just having a trip, but he could gain so much: from the Lotus Drop received recognition from most experts from the CERN to the invitation to participate in a very cutting-edge nuclear reaction research project like Myrrha. It was completely beyond Duke's expectations.

However, what is even more unpredictable is that Duke was nominated for the 2016 Nobel Prize in Physics by many senior experts for this unexpected trip. It should be noted that at the CERN, many senior physicists were invited to recommend candidates to the Nobel Prize Selection Committee.

Duke's theoretical paper on natural nuclear reaction and the Lotus Drop for verifying the principle came out, which irrefutably proves the correctness of its theory. In the eyes of many experts, this has the strength to compete for the Nobel Prize in Physics.
